'Sightings' Exhibition - A little Sneak Peek

Those of you who follow my Twitter/Instagram/Facebook will know that for the past few months I have been busy working on a new collection of paper cut works for an exhibition in August.

Sightings brings together two artistic viewpoints on Clerkenwell by Freya Lines and Reena Makwana, to compliment the position of the Showcase Gallery at Craft Central. As well as showing new work, the exhibition will show an insight into development work from both artists for this show and products from previous projects and collections for sale'

 I have been designing, developing and creating work on my days off from my freelance jobs, including 2 wonderful design studio assistant jobs that I will blog about very soon!
Along the creative journey of this project I have been taking Instagram photos (with my not so great phone camera, but luckily instagram filters brighten them up a bit)
So, here is a sneak peek so far...

Thank you Kaz, you have been such a positive encouragement on my work, something that I appreciate so much and I will certainly never forget (free products when I am rich & successful!)
